Chapel Hill as one well prepared to
be his coadjutor. Like Mr.. Kings
bury, she has wide range of infor-
nation, Is brilliant and eminently
adapted for historian. Her "Last
Ninety Days of War is one of our
States most valuable books.
Now as to the plan DIR. Hawks,
Mr.. Wheeler, and Mr.. Moore have al
ready written histories of the State,
while Col. VIM. L. Saunders, Secre-
tary of State is preparing special rec
ords an the war. These, valuable as
they are. are yet inadequate. North
Carolina needs minute, exact and
correct history OF her whole state life,
written by sympathetic, honest and
gifted son. As a people we have
been too little interested in our histori-
cal past, too apt to forget the deeds of
our fallen braves Our past is beau
tiful with deeds that can never perish
and with men who challenged the ad-
miration of the world.
In portions of our State, marble
and granite shafts, no more lasting
than the deeds they record, point sky
wards-a lasting memorial to the
dead.
Every rolling year brings the beau
tiful May month and lovely ladies and
gallant men meet at our State capt.
tai to rehearse the deads of the dead
and together Irvine flowers around
their honored graves. Father Ryan
has touchingly expressed our love for
the1and hallowed by the noble dead.
..Yes, give land where the ruins are
spread,
And the living tread light on the he arts of the
dead:
Yes, give me a land IL at is blest by the dust,
And bright with the deeds of the downtrodden
just;
Yes, give me the land that has legend and lays.
Enshr.nipc the memories of long vanished
days:
yes, give me a land that hath story and song,
To tell CT the strife of the Right with the Wrong;
Yes, give me a Land W it'll grave in each spot,
And names in the graves that shall not be for
got;
Yes, give me the land of the wreck, ana the
tomb,
There's a grand eur in graves-there's glory
in gloom;
For out of the gloom future b5ightuess is born,
AS after the night looms the sunrise Of morn"
Yet with all our love of the post,
with all our devotion to the principles
we once followed, with all our State
pride, we have as yet no adequate his
tory of her past record. Our neigh
Dor, Virginia, has been fortunate in
her choice of historians. The recent
ly deceased novelist, poet and histor-
ian, John Esten Cook left record of
his native State which in carefulness
of detail, sympathy in treatment and
eloquence of diction stands second to
no State history in the Union. We
most earnestly wish for similar his
tory for our State and heartily second
the nomina ton of Mr.. Kingsbury as
its author.

WASHINGTON CITY.
North Carolinians at the National
CAPITAL,

SpeciaI Co1rsspoadence OF The Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, August 2.-Messrs.
F. F. Patterson, and Patrick Henry
Winston, of Winston-Salem, were in
Washington last week. Mr.. Patter-
son was arranging with the depart
ment preparatory to going to Lewis
ton, Idaho, as register of the land of
flee there and Mr.. Winston on his
way from Idaho to North Carolina.
/ understand that the Honorable
"Pat'' intends to permanently locate
in Idaho before very long. He was
quite favorite with the late Presi-
dent Arthur and frequently dined
with him during his visits to Wash
ington. Mr.. Winston is bright,
able man and, barring his politics, an
exceptionally clever gentlemen. Re
publicanism is more popular in Idaho
than in North Carolina, and if our
Tarheel "Pat' goes into politics out
there, he will probably be heard from.
George B. Everett is another Tar
heel whom | expect to make his mark
in the Northwest. He is now locat-
eU At MITCHELL, DakoLa, you VIII Tec-
collect.
Messrs. j. M. Leach, Jr., and j. B.
Hussey have returned to their official
duties at Washington.
"Jim" Burnett, a North Carolina
negro, was shot and instantly killed
in this city last week by another neg
70.
John G. Blount, of North Carolina,
who has resided here for some time,
has gone to Birmingham, Ala, to re-
side.
Miss Lessie Grandy, goes to Orkney
Springs next week, to "sojourn'
awhile.
A sweltering crowd of excursionists
from Greensboro will arrive here to-
day. They have my "most mercur-
ial sympathy" LLEwxAA.

To Piedmont Springs.

On Saturday evening, the 23d, ult.,
seated in one of Messrs. Whites "Tar
Heel Road Carts we left dust, and
newspapers and "eopy fiends" behind,
and went skimming along toward the
old Pilot, whose picture the SENTI
NEL's readers see every week.
Arrived in Danbury, we stopped
with the genial Capt. Taylor, drank
iron water and recuperated. "Spot'
was there, there wasn't doubt of it.
The ever irrepressible, incompar-
able Spot, and of course we had a
pleasant time. AS Winstonian put
it 'Danbury is the only three-story
town I ever saw" Capt. Taylor's
house is on the second story and we
found enough pleasure and recreation
there to prevent us from wishing to
go up to the third.
The Piedmont Springs are about
two miles away and are reached by
hacks going twice day. The water
is something wonderful, tor we saw
one slender, apparently delicate young
lady, who had been there few days,
eat meal that would astonish the
stomach of field hand.
OF course everybody enjoys it up
there, it is free and easy, no formal
ty, no ultra ashionables and nothing
to do but rest and be lazy and stuped
to the hearts content.
So much for the life there, now
when we come to the people we are
still more pleased. Capt. and Mrs.
Taylor couldn't be kinder or more
obliging and "Spot' is known far and
near as an attraction.
Among the visitors we noticed Mr..
and Mrs. Chas Vance, and Mr.. and
Mrs. A. M. Payne, Washington, D.
c.. Mr.. and Mrs. E. T. B. Glenn,
Fayetteville, N. c.; Mr.. and Mrs.
Sample S. Brown, and Mr.. and Mrs.
S. w. Dick, of Greensboro DIR.
Brown and family of Winston Misses
Murphy and Tate of Alamance coun-
ty; Miss Pemberton, Fayetteville, N.
c.; Misses Tate and Dodson, Messrs.
Hill and Dodson, of Greensboro and
Messrs Averett and Wilson, of DAN
vile, Va. These are only a few of
the pleasant, genial company which
makes ones stay in Danbury SO en-
joyable.- We left the little village
with regrets, wishing to stay longer
and promising ourself to return at
some future time.
IF any one wishes quiet, pleasant,
healthfnl trip, there's no necessity to
go to Asheville, or Waynesville-go
to Danbatsy.
NOTES.
The iron ore near Danbury is mag
netic, 65 per cent pure-a most val
liable ore and is largely owned by
Col. Hicks. of Raleigh.
Crops all through Stokes are ex-
cellent, could hardly be better. To-
bacco is fine sad when it comes to
corn, Stokes will have enough bread
to last her five years.

TYPHOID fever is dangerous.

TYPHOID fever is dangerous. A
recent issue of the Durham Tobacco
Plant contained stirring article on
the subject from the pen of one Of the
ablest physicians of the State, DIR. I.
w. Harris, in which the causes are
given, the main one being filth. Our
city isn't clean. Everybody knows
it. The back lots are disgrace to
the city. Whose fault is it? Ask
yourself. ask your neighbor and then
see if some cleaning UP can't be done.
Without something being done, you
and your family are in danger. Look
to it.

give the town settled population in
exchange for floating one, and offer
inducements to working men to come
among us.
1t can be accomplished too, with a
small amount of capital.
Two associations are in operation
in Greensboro and another is propos-
ed, while the Statesville Landmark
of last week said the plan had ac-
complished most excellent results in
that town.
Let us have an association. We
are very much interested in the move

BUILDING ASSOCIATION.

The blessing conferred on man and
| and society by building associations
| are thus compiled by John S. Griffin !:
"They promote and foster frugal
habits.
They inculeate sobriety, and cher
ish and respect the rights of man.
They are incentives to the practice
ofeconomy.
They make more faithful husbands,
more dutiful sons, and certainly more
providential fathers.
They open to the clerk, mechanic,
small merchant, and laboring man the
only avenue to a home.
They lift up the poor man and
make him more manly.
They remove misery and place in
lieu thereof happiness.
They enrich the state and defend
its integrity.
They kill communism, and make
anarchy odious.
They humanize, christianize, soften
the scared, soured, discontinued hearts
of the honest toiling masses.
They will now, under the new law,
rear up race of noble independent
Missourians, homeowners, anti-law-
breakers, antimonopolists."
Every man ought to own home.
With prosperity at its present figures,
rapidly advancing in our larger
towns, few of our working men can
save enough to build in reasonable
length of time. They become dis
couraged, they look at home of their
own as something vague, indefinite,
hardly to be realized.
Now let building and loan asso-
citation be formed. That man who
once spent his spare pennies begins to
economic, he learns that just as soon
as he is able to buy a small lot, that
he can build a house and pay for it in
monthly installinents, little exceed
ing the amount he pays for rent. In
stead of paving six dollars rent, he
pays six and a half or seven and lives
in his own house.. an independent man.
It makes him more economical, more
ambitious, more self-respecting and a
better citizen. He has an interest in
the town, and in town affairs and is
the last man to advocate any of the
labor isDas.
To the stakeholder, these associa-
tions pay we'll and they are safe. The
failure of a Building and Loan Asso-
citation is an exceedingly rare occur
rance and is always due to careless or
criminal management on the part of
the officers.
Now, in Winston-Salem there is a
large number of working men and
women who get fair wages and who
coald soon own homes, were the asso
citation organized. These homes
would increase the value OF town pro-
perty, hence the amount of revenue,

NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY.
Our State contemporaries are can
wasting the subject of new North
Carolina history and it has been sug-
gested that the next Legislature ap-

Wilmington Star to do the work and
pay him $4,000.
We are most heartily in favor of it.
As to Mr.. Kingsbury, he is eminent
~ fitted for such work. His genius is
acknowledged as far as North Caro-
